The Urban Dictionary T-Shirt

a spicy, familiar, complementary, and friendly way to refer to a hotass latina lady (best when applied to colombian); to really let her know how much you like her, try calling her "mami chula" -- if she gives half a flying shit about you, she should at least answer back with a "papi chulo"

"Hey Baller, who's that friend of yours with the great smile and Reece Witherspoon haircut?" "Oh, that's my mami chula."
